Anina Yatay
Salas
is a ten-year-old girl. All her names form
palindromes, making her the butt of her
classmates’ jokes, and especially of Yisel’s,
who Anina sees as an “elephant.” One day, fed
up with all the taunting, Anina starts a fight
with Yisel during recess. The incident ends
with the
principal
penalizing the girls and calling their
parents. Anina receives her punishment
inside a sealed black
envelope,
which she’s told not to open until she meets
with the
principal
again a week
later.
She’s also forbidden to tell anyone about the
envelope.
Her classmates pressure her to find out what
the punishment will be, while they imagine
cruel
physical tortures. Anina herself, in her
anxiousness to find out what horrible
punishment awaits her in the mysterious black
envelope,
will get mixed up in a series of troubles,
involving secret loves, confessed hatreds,
close
friendships, dreadful enemies, some loving
teachers, and also some evil teachers.
Without her realizing it, Anina’s efforts to
understand the content of the
envelope
turn into an attempt to understand the world
and her place in it.
